Future

Future Mundicha, age 13

Future's dad died when he and his brother Kudzanai were still young. Their mother remarried a man who didn't want to care for children who were not his, so they were sent to live with their neighbor, since they had no family able to care for them. However, the neighbor didn't send them to school, but turned them into cattle herders. Eventually, their paternal grandmother heard about their situation and wanted to do something, but she was just a maid in Bulawayo and didn't have a home of her own to take them in to. The grandmother did the only thing she could think of - talked to her employer about it. He happened to have heard of Peniel Centre, and they set up a meeting right away. Future and Kudzi moved in to Peniel Centre in June 2009 and have excelled ever since.

Future is funny, timid, and brilliant. Last year, he was the smartest kid in his class, and he wants to be a doctor when he grows up. Instead of writing about who Future is, I'll just post this fabulous video that the kids recorded one day when they stole my camera...he is such a ham. A bunch of the kids made little music videos, and in most of them they are wearing Rick's sunglasses. :)

Pray for Future. Pray that he feels at home at Peniel Centre. Pray that he and Kudzi stay close. Pray that he will know what he can achieve. Pray that he keeps his joy. Pray for his heart.
